To be honest, everything to do with the justice system is crap. Law and order doesn't exist. Instead they choose who they like and who they don't.
So a man kills another man on a bus, and psychological professionals deem that he is insane. Ok, that make sense.
Your cousin is deported for committing a felonious and federal crime. That makes sense as well.
I don't see how this is not fair.

Ninja'd instantly. See, this is why I hate the UK government so much. And I live in the same house as a young Labour politician (well, he studies it and he's the deputy head of our university Labour society...). Hopefully people like him will eventually turn this country around before it's too late, though I can't see it happening (and I agree with him on a lot of things as well despite being a Tory myself...).MilkyFresh said:
But yeah, like MilkyFresh said, the world is fucked.
I shall do my best to clarify!lacktheknack said:
1. That man was quite clearly insane and will never leave whatever mental institution that he goes to. It isn't the best policy but very few developed countries use the death sentence in this modern era.
2. Moral of this story is to obey the law. The USA and any other western countries do not want druggies like your cousin walking the streets, unfortunately we cannot deport citizens for taking class A drugs but immigrants are fair game.
Top tip for your cousin, if you can't buy a substance in a super market or store then it is probably illegal and should be avoided if you actually like living in a country in which it is illegal.

OT: I'm just going to go and agree with most others in saying that the world is well and truly fucked.
Oh yes it is. I don't know why we have the insanity plea... Or we should at least just lock them up somewhere other than prison. Although, I don't like drugs, so, tough break for your cousin, but he brought it on himself.MilkyFresh said:
Jesus christ, I nearly spent 2 months travelling the US on Greyhound busses! Thank god I chose amtrak.
Basically, it's socially acceptable to do anything, even murder, so long as you suffer any kind of psychological disorder which, considering ALL humans have something psychologically wrong with them (either big or small)...ReepNeep said:
Just go to the courts with a story like you were treated like shit by your parents as a kid, hire a group of violin players for added effect, and you can do what you like.
It wouldn't surprise me if Hitler could get away with the genocide of the jews in this day and age, so long as he blamed it on some mental inferiority complex crap.
That being said, if a foreigner in my country was selling drugs, I'd want him kicked also. Why spend thousands of pounds of tax payer's money on looking after them in jail when you can just kick them out and not have to worry about it?
Mmmmm, no, he lived there, although admittedly after living in Canada..Jou said:
It's positively surreal to realize that you or someone you know in the United States has been "deported to Canada".
I don't see what the two situations have to do with each other, seeing as they're different justice systems.
However, the American justice system is fucked by harsh drug laws. All drugs should be legal. "But I don't want junkies around". If a drug is really that bad then some rehab center is making money and you can send them there, they'll die off naturally or they'll actually commit a crime worthy of BEING ARRESTED FOR. Also, it will create jobs and bring new industries to the economy. The lack of a judicial system present in a black market system (causing murder and gang wars) won't exist anymore. The gangs will move into crimes worthy of being arrested for or move on into a legal lifestyle. Cops can go after shit that matters, wouldn't that be fucking amazing huh?
Natural selection will take its place, and the smart people will stay away from the ones that gain a bad reputation. Other drugs (marijauana, psychadelics, etc.) will just be enjoyed legally and peacefully. People should have CONTROL OVER THEIR OWN BODIES. The attitude that junkies should be thrown out because they'll commit crime later is tantamount to 1984-esque thought police.
